CHAPTER VIII

*I'm outside* Kostya texted me.

I put a bit of Black Gas on my neck, sent Yuliya a message that I won't be gone for too long and that I'll call her later again and ran outside, Kostya was standing next to the taxi and it was raining a lot.

I know how much he hates rainy days since we've talked about everything for the past month, so basically I feel like I've known him for years. It's weird huh?

"Bea, can you move your ass I'm freezing" Kostya said while going through his wet hair with his hand. Oh my holy God I cannot take this. I was basically paralyzed by his prettiness.

"Bea, hello, are you okay?" he came closer to me and waved with his hands on front of my face.

Then it hit me out of nowhere that I was really in love with him, so deeply.

"Oh, yeah, sorry I zoned out for a bit" I looked at him with a small smile on my face and basically got in a taxi asap.

The ride was weird, he was quiet so I decided to break down the silence.

"Sooooo, Kostya, where are we going and why?"

"Uhm, you'll see" he said smiling.

Oh boy, he'll be the death of me. Not that I'd be mad haha.

After 20 minute ride we finally got to our final destination. His favorite place in Odessa. The bridge where he takes his pictures every year. It's like a tradition of his.

We thanked taxi driver and went for a walk. It was silent, again, but Kostya this time decided to break it down.

"I need your advice Bea" he said.

"About what exactly?"

"There's one girl, she is really special to me and I really want her to be my girlfriend"

I just stopped, my heart froze. He was in love with someone and I didn't even know about it. All of my hopes were falling apart right now...

"Bbb...but you don't know how to tell her, right?" I tried to act as cool as possible.

"Yes" he sounded so nervous. Oh God.

"Well, you can hold her hands, look her in the eyes and just ask her to be your girlfriend. But you must do that in a nice place, so you can take her here and do that"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, this is probably the best place I've ever seen" oh that fake smile...

"Oh okay, thank you for this"

"You're welcome Kostya" I smiled, it was a fake smile full of pain. This is going to be hard to accept... He loves someone else...
